Apologies for taking TABOO TOPIC: Pornography/Erotica off-topic, here is the split :)

dont read wikipedia. it is very 'Layman'. try accessing psychological reports about the issue. maybe refer to certain online textbooks on socioanthropology. you should find some. *if you can be bothered to do this at 12 am*

Wikipedia is actually excellent for many fields of study :)

Who says I haven't already? ;)

But seriously, my tutor said that it has really up-to-date information about diseases, biological responses, etc (for medicine); but similarly is very useful in other fields of study (maths for example).

I just use wikipedia for the references at the bottom lol. More a launchpad than anything for humanities-based subjects.

If I want more references, I use the references in the references that Wikipedia referenced.

Research is fun
It's really not that hard to quantify..., but I believe that being raped once is not as bad as being raped five times, even if the one rape was by a gang of people.
